President Obama doesn't think about Sarah Palin, he tells Barbara Walters

President Obama has many issues on his mind, but Sarah Palin isn't one of them.

In a brief clip of his interview with Barbara Walters shown on "Good Morning America" Wednesday, the President shrugged of a question asking whether he thought he could beat the Tea Party darling in the 2012 election.

"I don't speculate on what's going to happen two years from now," Obama said.

When Walters chided the President for not answering the question, he smiled and said, "What I'm saying is I don't think about Sarah Palin."

Last week, Palin told Walters she thought she could beat Obama.

"I believe I could," Palin said.

With unemployment still at 9.6% and a Republican-controlled House set to clash with Obama next year, the President will have more than enough to worry about in the next two years.

Obama told Walters he is more focused on being "the best possible President."

The former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008 has not formally said she will make a White House run in 2012.

A survey released Monday showed that Obama has an 8% edge over Palin if the election were held now, though 49% said the President did not deserve a second term.

Can you blame him? Presidents age fast enough as it is and I’m sure President Obama doesn’t need any more gray hairs.

That picture of her laughing is one of my favorites, maybe because there's nothing fake, just a normal person having a good laugh and a good time.
There is something real and more than just another politician about her (Reagan had that same quality).

Tee-hee-hee.

Question for the ages: What would the ratings and the voting be like on DWTS if Palin and Obama were really paired together?

[onyx]

LOLOLOL.
Exactly. Now I really must “start” food preparation.
Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!

Through the roof, but it would be PAINFUL to watch and POOR Sarah! That’s too much to ask of her or any American patriot!

I'd wager you're right...LOL.

He always responds to her FaceBook *and* tweets. He can't help himself.

"Obama's Death Panels" - that doomed his whole narrative...forever.

Who is this “Obama” of whom you speak and why should we care if he talks with President Walters?
